THE FLASHING SHOW (a work stuck in process) 1 "For millennia, man remained what he was for Aristotle: a living animal with the additional capacity for a political existence; modern man is an animal whose politics places his existence as a living being in question." Michel Foucault, History of Sexuality. + 1 "But the greatest thing by far is to have a command of metaphor. (...) It is the mark of genius, for to make good metaphors implies an eye for resemblances." Aristotle, Poetics. = 3 "A pessimist, confronted with two bad choices, chooses both." Jewish Proverb. "The Flashing Show" is a 'pièce de résistance' against nudity censorship (Politics); i.e., "The Flashing Show" is a 'pièce de résistance' in favor of a boundless freedom (Art). But since "The Flashing Show" acknowledges the imperialism of Design over Art and Politics (being neither against nor in favor of it...) , then "The Flashing Show" is a resigned, a-political, non-artistic, neutral and almost meaningless 'pièce de résistance' about contemporary Ethics and Aesth(Ethics).
